1 What are the micro skills of writing covered in the exercises displayed by the
Bridge English Competence for SMP Grade VIII? 2
What are the macro skills of writing covered in the exercises displayed by the Bridge English Competence for SMP Grade VIII?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
The objective of the study is to describe what micro skill and macro skill are covered in the writing exercises presented in the “The Bridge English Competence” for SMP
Grade VIII published by Yudhistira.
1.5 Significances of the Study
I hope that the results of this study will be useful and gives contribution to the English teacher as well as English textbook authors. For English teacher, it can be
used as a guide in analyzing and selecting a textbook with good writing exercises which have already contained the micro skills and macro skills of writing to achieve
writing competence. For the textbook writers, they will realize that composing a textbook is not
easy since they also have to consider the micro skills and macro skills of writing. Both micro skills and macro skills have to be covered on the writing exercises
presented on the book which can help the students to achieve the writing competence. Thus, it is hoped that the result of this study can help them in composing good
textbooks. Good and attractive exercises provided by the book will improve students’ motivation in writing.
1.6 Limitation of the Study
There are many textbooks which are used in Junior High School. Therefore, in this study, I limit the study on the book entitled the “The Bridge English Competence” for
SMP Grade VIII. This book consists of materials that cover the four language skills, i.e listening, speaking, reading, and writing. But, in this study, I also limit on the
written cycle only since this study is aimed to describe what micro and macro skills of writing that might contained in the writing exercises.
